RE: Want to be rich? Change this one bad habit
There is a place for cat photos and even food on the Steem blockchain @k0d3g3ar but it probably belongs on a Dapp like @steepshot.
Having said that, I consider your content good, and it contributes to the Steem blockchain 👍
I can't be sure of this but I sense that Steem will take a major dive here soon. Too many speculators have hope and I have noticed that reversals happen after almost all the speculators have lost hope (especially after a huge bull market like the one we just witnessed).
I had a brief conversation with one of the co-hosts on the GeekRant Podcast that I am on each week (http://www.elementopie.com) and we discussed D-Tube vs. YouTube. He is not a crypto guy, or has any skin in the game for Steem. His observations, however, are salient. He said that he wasn't interested in wading through D-Tube to find good content because 99% of it are stupid, irrelevant and pointless daily vlogs that people are doing just to get money. He's right. Until we weed out this from content and return to quality over quantity, that is going to stop new adopters coming into the community and that reflects on Steem price. If less and less people are curating, up-voting, etc. then it will die a natural death or be overtaken by a rival platform. The barrier to entry for blockchain based apps is low compared to what one would have to do in order to build an alternative to Facebook, for example. Therefore you don't need $10 million seed capital to do this, so Steemit/d-Tube has to be very careful that it doesn't become a forgotten technology because of low quality content. There's a long history of this happening in tech dating back decades.
Thank you for pointing this out @k0d3g3ar and for giving me some background information.
Based on the information you provided, it looks like @dtube and @dlive will have to start selectively promoting the best content in some way shape or form. They already do this a bit by upvoting the best content.
